			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>A Breakthrough Way to Understand How You and Your Animal Reflect Each Other</em></strong></p>
<p>Here is the cover of my new book! It will be released at the end of May. You can pre purchase at any online store, or through my site (signed copy) or through New World Library, my publisher.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.martawilliamsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/MAMS-front-cover.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2049" title="MyAnimalMySelf_cvr1.indd" src="http://www.martawilliamsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/MAMS-front-cover.jpg" alt="" width="360" height="556" /></a></p>
<p>This is the link to my website store page and links to some online stores.<span style="color: #0000ff;"> <a href="http://martawilliams.com/Mams.htm"><span style="color: #0000ff;">http://martawilliams.com/Mams.htm</span></a></span></p>
<p>Mirroring has not been written about or explained in depth up until now. In this regard, this book charts new territory and brings a completely new perspective about why we and our animals are together in this life.<br />
Mirroring can n occur on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level between you and your animal. For example, through mirroring,  your animal can show you what is not in balance in your life and by doing so can become one of your greatest teachers. Or, out of love, your animal might take on your emotions, life situation,  or physical issues in an attempt to help you. In the book,  I have included  a detailed mirroring questionnaire that will help you discover how and why your animals, both  past and present,  have mirrored you and your life. This book really is something completely different for animal lovers and it will help you discover a whole new dimension in your relationship with your animals.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #bc8c42;">HEAR YE All You NEW ENGLANDERS&#8230;.</span></strong></p>
<p>I will be doing a free book reading on May 31st at Phoenix Books in Essex VT at 7pm EST.</p>
<p>Then June 1 and 2 I am teaching a series of courses, also in Essex, VT. There is still room in the courses. Please pass this information along to any friends in New England area. You can sign up for the courses at my website .</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #bc8c42;">Any Last Minute One-Weekers?</span></strong></p>
<p>There is still room in my one week intensive in California that starts next Monday morning. Learn everything I know in one week! Call me if you are interested: 707 987 1092.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #bc8c42;">When to Euthanize?</span></strong></p>
<p>This seems like a pretty good guide for how to make the hard decision about when and whether to euthanize.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://shine.yahoo.com/pets/know-time-euthanize-pet-162100593.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;">http://shine.yahoo.com/pets/know-time-euthanize-pet-162100593.html</span></a></span></p>
<p>I have found that every animal, every death, is unique. I have let some animals peacefully die, and others I have had put down in order to avoid intense suffering. It&#8217;s always difficult to decide, and it&#8217;s always ultimately your call. What are your thoughts on this subject?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #bc8c42;">Rupert&#8217;s New Book</span></strong></p>
<p>In <em>My Animal My Self</em>, I  briefly discuss Rupert Sheldrake&#8217;s new book, <em>Science Set Free</em>. Here is a series of interviews with Rupert that you might like. His new book is ground breaking and worth a look.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://ttbook.org/search/site/sheldrake"><span style="color: #0000ff;">http://ttbook.org/search/site/sheldrake</span></a></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #bc8c42;">Your Questions</span></strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Question</strong><br />
I have a question : if animals are supposed to understand everything that is said, thought, or felt regarding them, how come it is important that we explain things to them? Why do animals have separation anxiety, resource guarding, fear of moving, etc. Why can&#8217;t they act like they understand us? Why do a lot of them have to act so stupid? I&#8217;m not saying they should mindlessly obey us, but for example, if a person has a fear of dogs, shouldn&#8217;t dogs take that into consideration and not jump on her? Or can&#8217;t cats understand that most people are not going to hurt them, and not be so skittish? Can&#8217;t animals just look into people&#8217;s hearts? By the way, I do believe that intuitive-communication is very real and that Nature is our equal. I&#8217;m just puzzled as to why animals don&#8217;t act more as if they understood us.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Answer</strong></p>
<p>First of all, great questions!&#8230;Animals need respect and recognition just like we do and they respond best when treated accordingly. Without this they tend to tune out their humans. Animals need the detail and nuance that can only come from you,  not just from them eavesdropping.</p>
<p>With regard to why are they &#8220;stupid&#8221; and why cant they just not have resource guarding, separation anxiety and fear of moving&#8230; the answer to that is that they are not humans and have not been socialized the way we are. They are more like wild animals. The machinations of the modern world are scary for most animals. Animals  also have species-specific behaviors,  like resource guarding,  and that would have to be conditioned out of them. But probably if we were not taught to share when young we would be biting anyone who tried to steal a potato chip!  LOL</p>
<p>Per your other questions: Why would a dog not be kinder to a person with a fear of dogs? Who says they aren&#8217;t? Usually what I see is if a dog picks up that a person is scared the dog will avoid that person or the dog will,  in turn, get scared. I have not seen a dog just jump on the person with disregard. However, if you had asked that question about a cat, well, that&#8217;s a different story. Cats tend to make a bee line to the lap of the ones who hate them. I believe they do this because they just have to see for themselves:  they can&#8217;t believe that a human being could actually not like cats.</p>
<p>As for why an animal can&#8217;t understand not to be skittish. Again, animals are just a surface scratch away from being wild. They are first and foremost about survival and once they have been traumatized, they can have a hard time letting it go; this is also true for most humans.</p>
<p>You say in closing, &#8221; By the way, I do believe that intuitive-communication is very real and that Nature is our equal. I&#8217;m just puzzled as to why animals don&#8217;t act more as if they understood us.&#8221; What I would suggest is that you keep experimenting. . The more you practice talking  intuitively with your animals, with other animals, with wild animals and with nature, the more likely you will be to start collecting solid evidence  that nonhumans can hear and understand us through intuition.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #bc8c42;">Canine Lullabies</span></strong></p>
<p>This looks pretty neat. If you have a dog with separation anxiety or who is afraid of thunder&#8230;its worth a try.<br />

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #bc8c42;">Dowsing</span></strong></p>
<p>Dowsing is an ancient practice and art. Here is a link to one of the world masters at dowsing, Raymon Grace. He has a number of books on how to use dowsing to clear energy which I highly recommend. Check it out!</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #bc8c42;">ChemTrails</span></strong></p>
<p>Lots of people ask me what chemtrails are&#8230; here are a couple of links to learn about them.. there are tons of sites about this on the net.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://truththeory.com/2013/01/09/rosalind-peterson-the-chemtrail-cover-up-interview/"><span style="color: #0000ff;">http://truththeory.com/2013/01/09/rosalind-peterson-the-chemtrail-cover-up-interview/</span></a></span></p>

<p>To counteract chemtrails, undo drought, and other cool things&#8230; check out cloud busters. Here is one site that makes them&#8230;there are lots of orgonite sites on the net too.</p>

<p><strong><span style="color: #bc8c42;">The State of the Earth</span></strong></p>
<p>The complete mess we are in is FUBAR. And what is even more amazing is that people can dodder around like there is nothing wrong&#8230; How is that even possible to do? All I know is that  I can&#8217;t ignore and go into denial. How about you?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong> When you have talked intuitively with an animal and you are checking the information you got from the animal with the animal&#8217;s person, how do you explain and deal with it when the person says you got  something wrong?</strong></p>
<p>Good questions! Here are some of the more likely reasons why one could get inaccurate information when doing intuitive communication:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>You may be getting inaccurate feedback</strong>.  The person who is giving you feedback on the information you feel you got from the animal, may not actually know the correct answer, or may have forgotten something that the animal didn&#8217;t. Here is an example from my own experience. A student said that my dog liked to play in the water down by the barn. I responded that there is no water down at my barn. Then the next day when I went to fill the water trough I saw that my dog was playing in the water that ran off from the trough. I called my student and told her I was wrong, and she was right.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>You may have some intellectual interference.</strong> One of the pitfalls of doing intuitive communication is that you can too easily go into your intellect and start &#8220;thinking&#8221; rather than feeling.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>You may have made an assumption on incomplete or vague data.</strong> Another thing that can happen is you can get some impression that is vague or ambiguous and instead of asking what does this mean, you make an assumption. For example, if you are asking an animal about his past and you get the word rescue, you cannot assume he was at a shelter. Animals get rescued in all kinds of ways. They can be found in the road, saved from a neighbor, and etc. So it is wise never to assume anything, but to go back in intuitively and ask for more detail until you have a more complete story.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>You may be tired, sick or otherwise not in top form</strong>.  If you are not feeling your best  your intuitive abilities may be compromised. For example, I never work when I am tired. It is also true that someone who is really skeptical can throw you off intuitively. That&#8217;s why I don&#8217;t like working with a confirmed skeptic. Also, if you have performance anxiety you may find your intuition is inhibited.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you find you have any of these blocks or tendencies we can schedule a private tutoring session to resolve them.  The bottom line is you most likely won&#8217;t be 100 % accurate all of the time. Most well known psychics say this too&#8211;80% to 90 % is a good goal.</p>
<p>The above issue was the lecture topic for the March Animal Communication Practice Group.  I host an online (by Skype or phone) Practice Group in Animal Communication once a month at the beginning of each month (usually the first Tuesday). The next practice group is April 2nd. You are welcome to join if you would like. Each month we have a different lecture topic and participants practice communicating with each others animals.   A Beginning Class in Animal Communication is a prerequisite. If you don&#8217;t have that you can email me -  marta@martawilliams.com or call me at 707 987 1092 to work with me by private tutoring to fill this prerequisite.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #bc8c42;"><strong>My New Book &#8211; <em>My Animal My Self</em> &#8211; Release Date May 2013</strong></span></p>
<p>My new book will be out about Mid May. I will be sending out a special email just to announce the publication. If you are not on my email list you can sign up on my website. You can also pre order the book on the online book sites if you like. This book explains in detail how to detect mirroring between you and your animal, whether it be on the physical, mental, emotional or spiritual level. In truth your animal often reflects you on many</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_2032" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 378px"><a href="http://www.martawilliamsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Cecilia-and-Akasha.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-2032" title="Cecilia and Akasha" src="http://www.martawilliamsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Cecilia-and-Akasha.jpg" alt="" width="368" height="245" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Cia and Akasha. Cia&#8217;s story about how Akasha led her on the right path for her work and life is in My Animal My Self.</p></div>
<p>levels and each animal you have can reflect a different aspect of your inner or outer world. It is just hard to see this clearly, especially with your own animals. Its fairly easy to see exaggerated cases of mirroring, like when an animal has the same exact physical problem as the person, or when a person is extremely nervous and their animal is too. But it&#8217;s much harder to see the typical, subtle mirroring that is going on with animals and their people. This is even more true when you are trying to analyze your own relationship with your animal. That is why I designed an extensive questionnaire that will show you the hidden dynamics going on between you and your animal. You can fill the questionnaire out for any animal, past or present, and discover the hidden teaching and healing that animal is offering you, or gave you in the past.<br />

<p><strong><span style="color: #bc8c42;">Upcoming Classes</span></strong></p>
<p><strong>One Week Intensive &#8211; May 20- &#8211; 25</strong></p>
<p>There is still space in my one week intensive. This is the best way to blast through your blocks and find  your confidence as an animal communicator. This course is designed for the beginner and or those with some experience. Sign up now to reserve a place at the nearby ranch I have reserved for participants&#8217; lodging. Spaces there are limited. In this course I cover everything I know how to do. We will be working into the evening a few nights to be able to cover it all, so it really is a total immersion. Might find time to go to one winery, since I live in prime wine country and we can also go one night to the nearby hot springs, but otherwise be prepared to work!  I give discounts off the course fee for classes you will be retaking. Contact me if you have questions.</p>

<p><span style="color: #bc8c42;"><strong>Earth Update</strong></span></p>
<p>Being alive at this time in history is no easy task. You don&#8217;t need to go any further than the daily headlines at  <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://enenews.com/"><span style="color: #0000ff;">http://enenews.com/</span></a></span></p>
<p>Record high sea lion deaths in S. Calif&#8230;.</p>
<p>Southern Tokyo contaminated&#8230;</p>
<p>Fukushima contamination spreading&#8230;</p>
<p>Sinkhole in Louisiana growing&#8230;</p>
<p>on and on</p>
<p>The question always arises &#8230; How do we live with this insanity and destruction? The answer is that we may not.. We just might not survive all this. As I have said many times in this blog, if we do it will not occur through old paradigm solutions. My best advice for how to cope is this: ask to be shown the best way for you to help, the best thing for you to do. Advice will come from your intuition and or from some external source. It really doesn&#8217;t matter where the help comes from as long as you get the guidance. Pay attention and follow your intuition. That is really the same as saying follow your heart, as intuition is rooted in your feelings and often informs you through feelings.</p>
<p>As I mentioned in my last blog, I was looking for the best path for myself  in terms of helping wild horses and burros and discovered Wild Horse Education in the process. Here is their latest mailer with a new  music video, including a song about the mustangs by Maria Daines and Paul Killington called &#8220;Set Us Free&#8221;. Make sure to scroll to the bottom to watch the video and please support the efforts of this group.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t think there is a best method, there are so many useful techniques it would be hard to choose the best. I had good results from Access Energy Healing, which helped me stopped smoking years ago. But the founder and main proponent of the technique are not so appealing. Reiki is good and easy to learn and its everywhere, but don&#8217;t get sucked into paying thousands to take the master class; its available at a reasonable price now. Another technique I like is the Emotion Code by chiropractor Bradley Nelson.  I would love to hear which ones you have tried and liked &#8212; why you like them and what your results were. So please write in to the blog and share your thoughts and knowledge.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #bc8c42;">Upcoming Classes</span></strong></p>
<p>In February I am teaching a teleclass on Manifesting for Ourselves and the Earth, and a class on Medical Intuition and Energy Healing. No prereq for the manifesting class, for the medical intuition you will need either a beginning class (with anyone or me) or a half hour tutoring session with me. Upcoming practice groups are Feb 5 and March 5, beginning tutor session or class required. In May I will be doing a one week intensive at my ranch. To learn more and register for these courses contact me and visit my website.</p>

<p>They made a poor choice of music I&#8217;s say, but the part where the rabbit tries to bite the sheeps&#8217; noses&#8230; priceless!</p>

<p>In this youtube it is clear this dog understands this one time command and is doing his best to comply. This is not something you can teach&#8230;.He just understood immediately what was being asked of him.<br />

<p>I think maybe in this lifetime I am going to have to go to Argentina and see this&#8230;This is a long video but shows Oscar and his son Cristobal working with untamed horses using South American Indian taming methods. Really fascinating&#8230;<br />

<p>Waggin Tails chicken strips and about 20 other treats made in China are literally killing pets every day and the FDA only just banned two of them; the rest are still in stores. Now labeling is hiding where things are made so check the bar codes.</p>
<p>If the first 3 digits of the barcode are 690 691 or 692, the product is MADE IN CHINA.</p>

<p><strong><span style="color: #bc8c42;">Gaia Update</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #bc8c42;">Gulf of Mexico</span></strong></p>
<p>This video is a testament to the FACT that you will not find the truth about what is going on unless you search on the internet&#8230;and I do mean search. So this video is long and homegrown, but it does give you the latest on the Gulf.  Need it be said the situation is not good, and we hear nothing about this, nothing. So the government is still spraying corexit . This is to cover up the fact that oil is gushing out of the Macondo Well area. they want all the oil to sink. The oil is gushing because of BPs frannkencrobes, frankenstein microbes, that are destabilizing the ocean floor. Therefore everything in the Gulf, in the water, is literally getting coated with corexit and oil. Corexit is a planet killer. Prince William Sound is still sterile 12 years or so later. Good book to read, Vampire of Macondo by Diana Dupree  http://vampireofmacondo.com</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>What it means for the wildlife in the Gulf, they are toast. Dolphins and shrimp now being born with no eyes. How any living thing is still moving out there is beyond me. And does it need to be said, the Gulf is not a bathtub, not a closed system. Lets see: Cuba, those dolphins we all love in the Bahamas&#8230;..</p>
<p>Do you recall the water cycle lecture from your beginning biology classes. what goes into the water , comes up , goes around, gets in the rain, and goes all over. We are all pretty much toast too if we can&#8217;t find some way to &#8230;whats the word&#8230; address??? this. Its happening relatively slowly so people arent paying attention. Early on in the Gulf spill I tried to get info out to the people there about how to do bioremediation of oil spills , even large scale. It can be done with mushrooms and microbes. I have a friend who does it in South America where the oil companies are fffing up the Amazon jungle. BUT&#8230; Corexit is the game changer and the planet killer. If it was just oil, well it would be bad but doable, again even over thousands of miles etc.  but with the Corexit&#8230;its game over for normal techniques. Plus I have no clue how one would stop the destabilized condition of the ocean floor in the Gulf. We will have to pull some completely different rabbit out of the hat. Like energy work on a planetary level, and again I say&#8230; friendly aliens we need you.<br />

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #bc8c42;">Fukushima</span></strong></p>
<p>The other current game end planet changer is Fukushima and really nothing has changed for the better. I have been seeing stories of deformed vegetables now showing up in California and fish so irradiated in Fukushima it is a wonder they can move. Again you will not hear about this unless you go looking for it . The two sites I check are FukushimaDiary.com and EneNews.com.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #bc8c42;">And What About the Wild Horses?</span></strong></p>
<p>One bright note in the world for me personally is that, through manifesting, I found a group working to save US wild horses and burros that is really making a difference. They are winning against the government in court and stand a good chance of creating a legal requirement for humane handling of these animals by the government and a legal requirement that the public be allowed in to all the secret holding sites where these horses are taken when they are ripped off the range. Further this group is working ultimately to require a sane management policy in the wild and minimize horses taken off the range to only those that are adoptable. They are also involved in an ongoing investigation exposing how the government illegally sold these wild animals to slaughter. I am now working with this group, a fairly new nonprofit, started by a woman who has been working for years on this issue and documenting the atrocities. This was one of the few groups I found that is addressing the plight of the horses and burros in the wild. There are many mustang advocate groups that raise money to pay for horses they have in sanctuaries, and lots of groups promoting public comments and petitions. While public protest is necessary, it has not done the trick. There are also a number of horse advocate groups working to end slaughter. That is key as well and I am supporting those groups too, but ending slaughter doesn&#8217;t get at the core of the problem for the wild horses and burros. The government abuse of these animals has to stop and there has to be a management practice that manages them primarily in the wild not rips them off the range. If you  would like to support this group they really need donations. They are at present all volunteer and aren&#8217;t slick in any way.. so not making the big bucks like many other groups that have paid staff. The best help would be a small ongoing monthly donation. Go to their website and click on the donate button in the top menu to find the monthly option. Also if anyone would like to volunteer along with me for this group, just get in touch.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://wildhorseeducation.org/"><span style="color: #0000ff;">http://wildhorseeducation.org/</span></a></span></p>
<p>The fact that after over a year of searching I finally found this group, to me is proof that manifesting DOES really work. I&#8217;m going to start on the Gulf now, mass energy work  and the friendly aliens, I guess.. Unless someone has some better ideas. LOL</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>at intuitive communication with animals. There are a few reasons for this. One is that more parents are encouraging their children to be aware of and use their intuition. When I was growing up it was the reverse; intuition was suppressed. I also believe that everyone is becoming more open to intuition because we all need to be if we are going to get through whatever lies ahead. Finally, as children we were all open intuiitvely, so children are just naturally more intuitive than adults and with encouragement they will now stay that way into adulthood.</p>
<p>A case in point is the following reading of my horse Mojave, done by Estreya, the daughter of a woman I did a tutoring session with.</p>
<div id="attachment_1935" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 209px"><a href="http://www.martawilliamsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Estreya-and-DJengo.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1935" title="Estreya and D'Jengo" src="http://www.martawilliamsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Estreya-and-DJengo-199x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Estreya and her horse D&#8217;Jengo</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After our session, Desiree gave Estreya the photo of Mojave and Estreya told her mom what she was picking up about him. Estreya said Mojave was:</p>
<blockquote><p>Interested in everything.  Mischievous.   Fun/funny. Likes treats, making friends. Loves to imagine and dream. Great dreams. Love being noticed and taken care of. He hasn&#8217;t been bullied just always has been himself. In his past&#8230;wild. Having fun with his great mom and friends and his herd.  He used to be called &#8220;crossed&#8221; he could tell when danger or bad disease were coming and a lot of horses were depending on him</p></blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This was all accurate and very interesting that she was able to pick up so much about him. Mojave was a wild mustang and captured by the Apaches. He is absolutely the scout, on the look out for danger, and taking care of everyone.</p>
<div id="attachment_1936" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 228px"><a href="http://www.martawilliamsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/IMG_0671.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1936" title="IMG_0671" src="http://www.martawilliamsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/IMG_0671-218x300.jpg" alt="" width="218" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Mojave</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Your Questions</strong></p>
<p>A reader sent in this question, which I know a lot of people have.</p>
<blockquote><p>I receive emails from all sorts of animal programs (PETA, Ally Cats Allies, Humane Society etc.).  I donate what I can when I can, support, sign petitions, even change my eating habits to more plant based diet etc.  Sometimes my efforts feel like vapor sprayed into an unlimited ocean of craziness and cruelty!!! I received an email from a place that raises money to save cats with a story about an elderly man  whose little gray four month kitten was cruelly killed.  There was a picture blurred for people to view if they chose.  A lot of times I choose to avoid looking at them (I am usually at work and the impact is enough to make me go home, crawl into bed and cry).  The story described how the rescue workers who found the kitten were &#8220;skaken to the core&#8221; so I decided to look. The image was horrible but the worse part is knowing the poor creature did nothing to deserve such treatment and was so very tiny and unable to protect itself.  I can also only imagine how the owner must&#8217;ve felt when he discovered this.  My line of work brings me into contact with a lot of very mentally, emotionally, and psychologically damaged people, some of whom have perpetrated such acts against animals, children, partners and other vulnerable souls.What do you do to take care of yourself when you encounter such depravity?  How do you &#8220;rebalance&#8221; or &#8220;re-center&#8221; yourself in order to continue the work you do?  When it comes to animals, for some reason, I too am &#8220;shaken to the core&#8221;.  I am a very visual person so images like this feel very real.  My guess is that you &#8220;see&#8221; this kind of stuff a lot.  How do you recover?    Roree</p></blockquote>
<p>Answer &#8211; Big question and due to space and time I have to give a short answer. I don&#8217;t believe we will recover from what is happening in the world until we heal the world. That is our challenge in our age, to heal the illness and violence. I think to do that we will all need to be manifesting for paradise on earth&#8230;. and believing in spite of everything, that it can and will happen. Now there is a challenge, eh? But look at manifesting in your own life. It is the same. If you let yourself fall into the abyss you stay there. You have to believe against all odds and contrary signs that good can happen and will happen. And then it does. Cases in point:  I have been manifesting for about a year to find some way to help the wild horses and burros and finally found a group that stands a chance of winning two pending lawsuits against BLM. One would secure the public access to see the horses during roundups and in all holding lots. The other would force BLM to implement a humane standard of care for these animals. This group has the ability to bring further suits that could halt the roundups all together and force BLM to manage these animals in the wild. Please do visit and support them: http://wildhorseeducation.org/</p>
<p>I will be teaching a course in manifesting in Feb if you need a refresher teleclass in how to do it. So first you manifest. Then realize that once an animal is dead the pain is over, they could still harbor anger at those who hurt them, but the pain is over and they don&#8217;t keep going over and over what happened the way we do. Then you must do whatever you can to help, even if it seems small, it is not. All energy to the positive creates a positive momentum. Do pick your causes well as many nonprofits don&#8217;t use the money wisely especially the bigger ones. You can always send feelings of love and the intention for protection to any animals or groups, near or far. Ask Spirit to come help them. I think it also helps to realize that people who do these things can&#8217;t do any better; if they could they would. I send healing energy to them to help them be better. If you know how to cut cords you can work with the animals to cut cords to the abusers. Lots of things you can do. And when you start doing things you stop feeling so bad. Anyone else have some good advice on this?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="color: #696969;"><span style="color: #000000;">what would it be? My choice would be to change the way little boys are socialized all over the world. Something goes haywire, in all cultures, with regard to socialization &#8212; at least that is my take on it. I believe men and women have the same capacity for empathy, compassion, nuturing, care, concern, intuition, etc. But somewhere along the way from indigenous culture to civilized culture something got messed up when it comes to how boys are raised and the expectations put on them vs. the expectations put on girls.  I&#8217;m working backwards in this assumption, as I have no experience with raising kids or teaching them. But I can attest to the fact that most of the people interested in animal communication are women. Men can communicate intuitively just as well as women, but there is a taboo for men to participate in things that are seen as feminine, emotional, about loving animals, about intuition&#8230;fill in the blank. Rupert Sheldrake talks about this in his books.  For that reason , I suspect the statistics will bear out that there tends to be a majority of women who will be seen to take on animal rescue and activist activities. For one thing animal rescue work usually doesn&#8217;t pay well..LOL. But I think there are socialization issues there too. I feel pretty safe in asserting that  the majority of the abuse done to animals (not all of it, but most of it) is done by men.That doesn&#8217;t mean all men are abusive, just that the tendency to abuse is more prevalent in men than in women.</span></p>
<p>The men in my classes agree with the analysis that there is a social taboo for men against doing animal communication, more so than for women.   And it is a well documented fact that domestic violence is predominantly done by men to women not the other way round. I don&#8217;t know what the statistics are for violence and abuse against animals, but it seems likely that such action is more male-initiated.</p>
<p>I guess I would wave the wand so that little boys are now magically raised more the way girls are &#8212; in particular teaching them to be nurturing, emotionally open, and supportive of one another.  I think there have been some experiments in Sweden and maybe in Montessori schools to do this sort of thing. I don&#8217;t know how these experiments have worked, but that would be my vote. What is your opinion and what one thing would you change?</p>

<p><strong><span style="color: #bc8c42;">Dog Shaming</span></strong></p>
<p>There is a website called dog shaming where people post the bad things their dogs have done. This has become a YouTube cult thing&#8230; Some people think it is not nice to the dogs. I don&#8217;t know I cant see that really. I guess some of the dogs might not really like it but most of them seem sort of impressed with themselves. Beyond that every time Ii go look at the site I laugh hysterically &#8212; can&#8217;t help myself at all.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZAIwcgElZNk" frameborder="0" width="560" height="315"></iframe></p>

<p>Look at the face on that one! Unbelievable. The little balloon window says&#8230;.<em> Cat doesn&#8217;t care</em>. OK that&#8217;s even more hysterical. Luna guarding the door and the cat walking right by going, &#8220;Right, dream on.&#8221;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>My main comment on the site is that a whole lot of the postings would disappear if people would just please feed their dogs real food&#8230; OY VEY!!!</p>
<p>OK here is another one&#8230;.. there are hundreds by now&#8230;you could sit there all day and view them.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #bc8c42;">FYI</span></strong></p>
<p><strong>Raw Food</strong></p>
<p>Here are some options for doing raw food for dogs and cats:</p>
<p>This site is a vet who talks about making your own raw for cats:  <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://www.catinfo.org/?link=makingcatfood#Making"><span style="color: #0000ff;">http://www.catinfo.org/?link=makingcatfood#Making</span></a></span></p>
<p>This site is also a vet who started the bones and  raw food diet (barf diet):   <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://www.barfaustralia.com/index.php"><span style="color: #0000ff;">http://www.barfaustralia.com/index.php</span></a></span></p>
<p>On my home page there is an ebook you can buy that tells you how to do raw or cooked homemade food.</p>
<p>Here are some US based raw food companies that ship:</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://www.darwinspet.com/"><span style="color: #0000ff;">http://www.darwinspet.com/</span></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://www.radfood.com/products"><span style="color: #0000ff;">http://www.radfood.com/products</span></a></span></p>
<p>Carnebest is a good food available in Holland, not sure about elsewhere</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>No Kill Animal Shelters</strong></p>
<p>In case you are not aware there is an international movement toward no kill dog and cat animal shelters. To learn more about the no kill movement go to this site</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://www.nathanwinograd.com/"><span style="color: #0000ff;">http://www.nathanwinograd.com/</span></a></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s in that Food?</strong></p>
<p>Whats in Purina? Here&#8217;s some info about that.<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://truthaboutpetfood.com/articles/purinas-inedible-animal-food.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">http://truthaboutpetfood.com/articles/purinas-inedible-animal-food.html</span></a></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #bc8c42;">Good Things</span></strong></p>
<p><strong>Bear Bile Industry Shrinking</strong></p>
<p>Here is an article on Care2.com about how the bear bile industry is shrinking. <span style="color: #0000ff;"> <a href="http://www.care2.com/news/member/353427779/3471538"><span style="color: #0000ff;">http://www.care2.com/news/member/353427779/3471538</span></a></span></p>
<p>Wow is that good news. The bear bile industry is a hideous abuse that has caused bears to commit suicide by starving themselves rather than endure the torture. One mother bear killed her baby and then herself to get out of that hell. Really it is that bad. It&#8217;s good that it&#8217;s taking a turn down&#8230;its so bad that it even exits.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>River has Rights</strong></p>
<p>Another good thing &#8211; Yay New Zealand!</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://www.care2.com/causes/new-zealand-grants-a-river-the-rights-of-personhood.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;">http://www.care2.com/causes/new-zealand-grants-a-river-the-rights-of-personhood.html</span></a></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Safe Wind Turbines</strong></p>
<p>And another &#8211; bird and bat safe wind turbines</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://www.care2.com/causes/can-a-new-windmill-save-birds-and-bats.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;">http://www.care2.com/causes/can-a-new-windmill-save-birds-and-bats.html</span></a></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>End Horse Meat Industry</strong></p>
<p>This may turn into a good thing&#8230; the Canadian horse slaughter plants are under scrutiny for toxic meat. If you live in Canada go to this site and join in to help shut down the Canadian horse torture camps.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://defendhorsescanada.org/help-now/do-it-now"><span style="color: #0000ff;">http://defendhorsescanada.org/help-now/do-it-now</span></a></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #bc8c42;">Not So Good Things</span></strong></p>
<p><strong>Gulf of Mexico</strong></p>
<p>Nothing went away or changed in the Gulf of Mexico. The ecosystem and animals are dying, the oil and corexit still flows. If you are a truth seeker and want to pull your head up out of the sand go to facebook and join the Real Coastal Warriors. They have it dialed in.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/RealCoastalWarriors"><span style="color: #0000ff;">https://www.facebook.com/RealCoastalWarriors</span></a></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Fukushima</strong></p>
<p>As for Fukushima, what can you say&#8230;if you missed what&#8217;s been happening, here&#8217;s a whole slew of articles by Natural News.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/Fukushima.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;">http://www.naturalnews.com/Fukushima.html</span></a></span></p>
<p>There are a lot of people in Japan and around the world mobilizing against nuclear but, as with the Gulf, the damage has been done.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One technique I teach is from an old book called <em>You Are Psychic</em> by Pete Sanders, Jr. I talked to someone recently who attended one of  his classes. In discussing the technique and I realized I had changed it over time from the way it was presented in Sanders&#8217; book. So I hereby stand corrected: the &#8220;think up&#8221; technique should be thinking up and with eyes closed looking up towards the top of your head not the mid forehead third eye. It does make a difference, and puts you more into a theta brain state, which, along with the delta brain state, allows easier access to intuition. Sanders recommends this technique especially when you are stuck or stumped.</p>
<p>Speaking of things from the past, does anyone out there have any Fred Kimball stories. He was a communicator, now dead, who had a cult following. People revered him and his accuracy. As far as I can find out he didn&#8217;t write anything. The other fascinating pioneer in this field is Beatrice Lydecker. My favorite story about her is that she was on Johnny Carson and told Ed the sidekick, that his cat loved to sit on the frig and swipe his toupee off as he walked by. Ed was reportedly so embarrassed he walked off the stage. Anyone out there have any Beatrice stories?  Oh and one more&#8230;. did anyone actually watch the David Letterman show when he had Lydia Hiby on and asked her to talk to OJ Simpson&#8217;s dog, right after OJ murdered his wife? What did Lydia say the dog said? I &#8216;ve never been able to find out.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #bc8c42;">Short Blog</span></strong></p>
<p>I realized it has been too long since I blogged. Sorry! and I also have no time&#8230; finishing a book amongst other things. So this will be short and sweet. Longer blog next month&#8230; I promise.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #bc8c42;">GMO &#8211; Watch This!</span></strong></p>
<p>This movie is up until this coming Saturday, then I&#8217;m not sure how you can view it,  so catch it in the next few days.<br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/09/15/genetic-roulette-gmo-documentary.aspx?e_cid=20120915_PRNL_art_1" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/09/15/genetic-roulette-gmo-documentary.aspx?e_cid=20120915_PRNL_art_1</span></a></span></p>
<p>It is a very well done movie on genetically modified food &#8211; what&#8217;s in it and why it is making us sick. If you have not already done so, go get some organic seeds and start growing your own veggies, even if just in pots on the porch or the window sill. you want a stock of seeds and as much as possible avoid all GMO.</p>
<p>When I tell people they need to switch to organic for themselves and their animals an invariable and immediate response is, &#8220;Oh, I try but it&#8217;s too expensive.&#8221;  So I guess organic food has the stigma of being seen as food for rich yuppie types. No, it would be more accurate to think of organic food as the food of those who will still be living.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #bc8c42;">What&#8217;s in That Dog Food?</span></strong></p>
<p>If you know anyone who feeds Purina send them this.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://truthaboutpetfood.com/articles/purinas-inedible-animal-food.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">http://truthaboutpetfood.com/articles/purinas-inedible-animal-food.html</span></a></span></p>
<p>And if you need some convincing to go to real whole food that link should do it.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #bc8c42;">Your Stories</span></strong><br />
Here is a story sent in by Ann Walker about using an herb to cure her dog.</p>
<blockquote><p>Nearly three years ago my Koolie dog, Morty, was diagnosed with Anal Furunculosis. (Perianal Fistula) This is a most horrible disease and when the vet told me it was incurable I was appalled. He was given a life expectancy of only 18 months and only then if he was kept on the prescribed drug, Macrolone. He was only 6 years old. I had him at 4 months old and he had always been strong and healthy  and, like all his breed, full of boundless energy. Koolies are a working breed similar to working border Collies. I was devastated. The Macrolone turned my super energetic dog into a zombie and there was no visible improvement in his condition. I turned to cyber space and looked up everything I could about the disease. Just as my vet had told me it was found more often in German Shepherds than other breeds and life expectancy was never more than 18 months on drugs. Less without them. I am not a big fan of drugs for myself or my animals so did some research on natural herbal remedies.</p></blockquote>
<div id="attachment_1878" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.martawilliamsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/monty.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1878" title="monty" src="http://www.martawilliamsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/monty-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Monty and Ann&#8217;s grandaughter</p></div>
<blockquote><p>My searching mouse found an Australian Veterinarian (I live in Australia) so I emailed him. I had an immediate response telling me he was in America at that moment but advising me to give him Calendula (Marigold) and if possible to use it externally as well as internally. It was, he said, the only thing that would do any good. I went to my local whole food and herb shop and was directed there to a most helpful young woman who was a calendula enthusiast. She sold me a packet of dried flowers and told me to make an infusion and pour some on his food as well as using it externally. At least a months supply cost a mere $7.50. &#8216;Do you have any growing in your garden?&#8217; she asked. When I told her I did she suggested I use fresh ones but keep the dried ones for any time when none were flowering.<br />
I started treatment immediately and dropped the drugs. Very slowly but equally surely Morty&#8217;s condition improved. He celebrates his 9th birthday this month. He is as fit or fitter than he has ever been and has all his old joy in living and boundless energy. I still pour &#8216;marigold tea&#8217; it on his food and my garden is now ablaze with orange and yellow calendulas.<br />
I am so grateful to the vet who gave me this advice and wish I could thank him. But just at the time when it was obvious Morty was on the mend my computer caught a virus and I had a complete meltdown losing everything including my emails and addresses. I have tried so hard to remember his name and tried everything I can think of to find him to no avail. All I can do is pass on the information so generously and freely given me and hope that by so doing some other dog somewhere may benefit.</p></blockquote>
<p>Note: I think the herbalist she must have used is Robert McDowell in AU. Here is his website</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It can be really hard to find the best way to help your animals when they are sick or dying. Sometimes regular veterinary techniques are really helpful, and other times they are part of the problem not the solution. Over the years I have learned by trial and error that going holistic gives the best results. But that knowledge did not come without a lot of failure: two dogs I could not save from cancer, a horse with lipomas I had no idea how to deal with, and a horse with a neck injury I didn&#8217;t recognize as potentially fatal. In each of these cases I felt incredibly guilty for not seeing the problem sooner and not knowing what to do do help, to save. Finally, I had to realize that we can only do the best we can do;  sometimes you have to learn the hard way, and feeling guilty is only useful in so far as it keeps you from making the same mistake again. After that point, just drop it. Your animals don&#8217;t want you to feel guilty. And once they are dead, they are not sitting around as spirits going over and over all the bad things that happened and all the errors you made; they move on, just as we need to move on. Don&#8217;t forget the lessons learned but don&#8217;t relive the pain. There is no point in that; we were all just doing the best we could do at the time.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #bc8c42;"><strong>Speaking of Cancer</strong> </span></p>
<p>Here are some ideas I have picked up from the Internet on things to do for cancer that might help wont hurt. Personally I would not do chemo or radiation for myself or for my animals. The first thing to do is go holistic which means to get them on an organic real food diet and get them off all toxins that might challenge the immune system, including all pesticide based worming and flea or tick controls.Make sure not to feed anything with sugar or processed carbohydrates, as this feeds cancer. So only whole organic food treats as well.</p>
<p>One site recommend to give a little cooked asparagus once a day mixed in wet food</p>
<p>You can give chloroxygen, about  a half dropper each meal – I get this at the health food store, it has chlorophyll and oxygen in it, both supposed to be good for cancer</p>
<p>Cell Food is supposed to help &#8211; Iget it from the health food store and do a few drops of that</p>
<p>Do a detox daily – can do Zeolite or betonite clay… get at health food store, mix about tsp or ½ tsp in with food</p>
<p>Use  Stem Pet – I order this from my animal chiropractors site</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://www.drkraft.stemtechbiz.com"><span style="color: #0000ff;">www.drkraft.stemtechbiz.com</span></a></span></p>
<p>Vitamin D is supposed to be anti cancer</p>
<p>Alkalinizing is supposed to inhibit cancer</p>
<p>You might want to do cell forte -<span style="color: #0000ff;"> <a href="http://www.lef.org/Vitamins-Supplements/Item00485/Cell-Forte-IP-6-Inositol.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;">http://www.lef.org/Vitamins-Supplements/Item00485/Cell-Forte-IP-6-Inositol.html</span></a></span></p>
<p>Kelp helps boost thyroid</p>
<p>Use products to boost the immune system &#8211; here are a couple</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://www.loveyourpetlonger.com/page65.html"><span style="color: #0000ff;">http://www.loveyourpetlonger.com/page65.html</span></a></span></p>

<p>(note they have cat formulas too)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>What have you found that helps for cancer?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #bc8c42;"><strong>It&#8217;s The Pits</strong></span></p>
<p>Pitbulls have been in the news a lot lately, being put down for just being pits with no chance of reprieve. The only good aspect may be that the issue has galvanized millions and we may eventually see dogs evaluated based on their behavior not on their breed.</p>
